#6 – Roasted Maple-Bacon Brussel Sprouts

Amounts given per 1 cup of brussel sprouts, which is about 2-3 servings. When multiplying this recipe, only increase the amounts of oil and maple syrup enough to coat the brussel sprouts and bacon, respectively.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. This is a great recipe for a convection oven, so if you have one, preheat to 350 degrees.

In a medium sized bowl, toss the chopped brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and if you desire some heat, a small dash of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Mix until the brussel sprouts are completely coated with oil.

In a small bowl mix the crumble bacon with enough maple syrup to saturate the pieces, about 1 ½ tablespoons.

Mix the maple bacon pieces into the Brussel sprouts – it’s up to you if you mix in any other the remaining maple syrup.
